My Place

I'm a puzzle piece floating about

laying here and there twisted about

you place me here, then there

you then insist I dont belong

removing me from here to place me there

you twirl me about to try and make me fit

you push and shove me into place 

only to bite your lip, shake your head

then once again I find I dont belong

you pick me up, to twist me about

you move me from here to there

I find that I am dizzy and crazy along this path

Oh why can I not fit?

Oh why did I not belong?

I lay here abandoned as you move other piece about

I watch, I observe you setting them into place

Why do they have a place?

Why do they fit where I could not?

You come back to me once again

with great concern I struggle in your grasp

I dont want to be set where I dont belong

You hold me in your hand as you look about the puzzle

you then exclaim "I see" and you set me in my place

I find that I fit

I find that I too have a place
